MotoGP rising star Pedro Acosta is reportedly worried about his future with KTM due to the severe financial difficulties, according to his manager.

Earlier this month, it was revealed that KTM is struggling with a debt of approximately 3 billion euros and has entered self-administration after struggling with bike sales. As reported by Autosport, KTM's MotoGP management decided to stop bike development as a measure to protect the sport project.

Acosta, who made his debut with Tech3 this season, has now joined the factory team for 2025, replacing Jack Miller. However, in a podcast with Motorsport.com’s Spanish edition, Acosta's manager, Albert Valera, explained that KTM's financial troubles were not a factor when the contract was signed. He admitted that both Acosta and his team are concerned about the situation, as it could leave him without a competitive bike.

"When we signed the contract in May, nobody warned us about this possibility," Valera said. "We were told KTM was a giant with immense financial strength, so this situation came as a complete surprise."

Valera described the news as hard to process but added that KTM has assured them the MotoGP project will continue, meaning Acosta will still have a bike next year. However, uncertainty remains regarding the conditions under which the team will compete.

"When we signed the contract, we did so with the understanding that we were joining a winning project, a company making tens of millions in profit, and one that was clearly positioned to challenge Ducati," Valera explained. "But now, just six months later, everything has changed. We can't ignore this reality, and of course, it’s worrying. It would be absurd to deny it."

Valera acknowledged that while it would be difficult to break the contract with KTM at this stage, it is also challenging to fully trust the company's assurances.

"We have to do something difficult—trust what they tell us," he said. "It's hard because KTM previously presented itself as a giant capable of competing with Ducati, but now that's not the case. We have to be cautious and take what they say with a grain of salt, but still try to trust them and not jump to conclusions."

Regarding the possibility of breaking the contract, Valera said, "It's tough to think about breaking the contract right now. You can't break it unless there’s a breach by the other party. As of now, KTM has not breached the contract."

Valera confirmed that, for now, it's business as usual for 2025 unless the situation worsens. He emphasized that KTM has communicated they are still committed to the MotoGP championship.

The 2025 MotoGP grid is already set, with no available spots in the top teams, so if Acosta were to part ways with KTM, his options would be limited. However, Valera mentioned that other manufacturers have expressed interest in Acosta's future.

"I speak with many factories regularly. We have good relationships, and they reach out to check on Pedro, offering their support and wishing him well," Valera said. "If we ever need to explore other options, all these factories would be open to helping Pedro. He's a 20-year-old talent who has already shown a lot, and any factory would love to have him on board."
